Inkspirational Challenge - Prompt Word - Glamour

Happy Saturday everyone! It's time again for another Inkspirational challenge. This time it's a word prompt. And that word is, Glamour.

Now, I had a bit of a problem with this word. I just didn't have any stamps that fit any of the ideas I had. Then I had a lightbulb moment and approached it from a different angle. Glamour, when thought about in terms of magic and fairies, is a spell that makes you appear as something else. Well, I thought I have several fairy images so I went with that. :-) Check it out.....

I've had this stamp forever. It's the first one I ever bought when I first got sucked into this amazing world of stamping. It's by Stamps Happen Inc. and I'm pretty sure they don't exist anymore. But it's a lovely stamp and I bring it out every so often to play. So, first I stamped my fairy in black Memento ink and then made a mask for it and covered it up. Then I stamped my tapestry background (Stampabilities) using Mustard Seed Distress ink that I faded the intensity of here and there. I stamped it a few times (sometime spritzing with water) without reinking it. Then I removed the mask and coloured in my fairy with my Spectrum Noir markers. I added a bit of sparkle to the dress and wings with my Wink of Stella pen. You can see it better in the detail picture. I coloured in the star of the wand with a gold Pentel marker. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment (STAMPlorations) in black.

I hope you'll take a trip on over to the Ink blog and check out the other fantastic cards by the rest of the team. They knocked it out of the park, once again. :-)

Yes, I have a few Stamps Happen big wooden stamps and I think you're right about them not being around any more. This looks beautiful - lovely colouring in and the way you've used it , the other stamps could have been made for it.

I have tried my hand at many types of arts and crafts like, stained glass, lithography, scrapbooking, rubber stamping, cake decorating, and much more. There are a lot of things I still want to try. I would have to say that my two favourites are card making and painting.
